Kokonoi, Hajime

九井一

Hajime Kokonoi, known as Koko, is the former 10th generation Black Dragon commander.
Koko has black hair styled in a deathhawk, flowing wildly on the right side of his face, while the left side features shaved rectangles. He has fierce, piercing black eyes and tall arching brows, giving his face an eternally angry look. He often wears dressed-up attire that matches the detailing on his golden earrings.
Koko views the world as a series of calculations. He acts solely in his own interests; every move he makes is intended to benefit himself. He cozies up to those more powerful than himself but will turn his back on them the moment they lose their instrumentality.
Although materialistic in nature, his inclination toward monetary gain is rooted in despair. When Akane Inui, the girl he liked, was severely injured, the cost of the operation was impossible for her family to pay. As a result, he researched every possible way to acquire money, even logically discerning that as a young boy, the only way he could amass money was through illegal activities. However, as he kept hiring criminals for his deeds, he became absorbed by the goal of obtaining money and forgot his original objective.
